AppImage from custom folder structure, is possibile?

Creating AppImages
1

Hello everybody,
I’m trying to create an AppImage of an app with the following structure:

MyApp/main_executable
MyApp/library.so
MyApp/folder_with_many_subfolders/

The main_executable have hardcoded references to both the .so library and the folder.
Is there any way to build an AppImage from this case?

Thanks for the help,
Luca

Yes, sure. Just rename main_executable to AppRun or symlink it, then add a desktop file and icon.
